In a viral video circulating across social media platforms, U.S. Navy sailors on the USS Makin Island warship are seen hosting a Pride ceremony as they cut a giant LGBTQ cake.
The USS Makin Island is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship. It can travel at a speed of 28 knots (32 mph), and is armed with two Sea Sparrow launchers, three 20 mm Phalanx (CIWS) mounts, and eight 50cal. mgs
While it exudes military strength for the U.S., many social media users note the video of the LGBTQ pride cake definitely counters the idea that it’s an impressive feat.
